NEW YORK, NY. (THECOUNT) — Weekend Fox & Friends host, Pete Hegseth, was banned from Twitter after he says the social media giant objected to him tweeting information about the alleged Saudi military official who went on a shooting spree at the Naval Air Station (NAS) in Pensacola, Florida late last week.
In an Instagram post, Hegseth wrote:

“Yesterday, I was BANNED from [Twitter] — because I posted a screen shot of the terrorist from Florida tweeting his Islamist motivations. That’s it, a screen shot of a terrorist in his own words. If they can ban me, they will ban anyone. We need to fight back. Heck, I posted the terrorist screen shot on this post too, so stay tune for [Instagram] banning me too. Big tech does the bidding of the Left, especially to include anyone who speaks truth about the threat of radical Islam,” reports DailyWire.
The tweet that Twitter demanded that Hegseth remove, stated: “Here’s the (now-blocked) tweet from the Saudi Islamist, [suspect’s name], who murdered 3 brave Americans in Florida. The coward posted it just hours before his terrorist attack. This is Islamist terror. No reason to ever mince words. Saudi Arabia must be held to account.”
Hegseth’s tweet included a screenshot of the alleged terrorist’s tweet, which is not shown in his Instagram post where he posted the screenshot of the message Twitter sent to him.

In a subsequent Instagram post, Hegseth showed the response he appeared to send to Twitter in his appeal over their decision to suspend him.
